As always, thank you all.

The water was pond like upon opening. Did not have my tf-100 yet so I could not properly test pool. So while I waited for the new kit to come in, I added 12.5% sodium-hypo. about a gal. over 4 days and brushed. I did use one 1lb bag of shock. Water cleared up, (people think it looks great)...

I was thinking the sock with di or tri b/c that would address a few levels but want the expertise of you all 1st.. FC: 1 CC:2.5 CH: 225 PH: 8.2 TA: 140 CYA: 0 Thank you! Happy swimming all

Hello... Helping out a friends pool here.... She has an auto chlronitaor but I'm assuming it doesn't work Bc there was no FC registering. Also cya doesn't register either. So my question is should I raise cya before SLAM? I'm using the recommended test kit It's a brand new 15 round pool D.E...

Hello again Last night I added about a half a gallon of Clorox ... Here are my new readings as of today... FC 2.5 CC 0.5 PH 7.2 CH 300 TA 120 CYA 30 The bottom of the pool looks better but I can still see some purple spots and some of it on the walls. My question now is should I vacuum it up...

Just want to be make I'm doing this right.... When u say 50/50 that's under the label correct ? Then R-0013 to the top of the label?

Yea I agree .... I have to wait until tomorrow to retest Bc I'm at work at the moment.... But I will redo the cya

Barely became obscured..... I would say slightly cloudy

Yea I never used bleach before so I'm just worried about staining the liner......what's your recommendation on pouring it in the pool?

Ok that's what I was thinking..... Just pour it evenly into the pool ? It stain liner correct? - - - Updated - - - It won't stain liner?

Ok tried the dilution test .... Maybe I did it wrong but filled the cya tube all the way to the top and could still see black dot

Ok used my new TF-100 kit FC -1.5 CC -0 PH -7.2 CYA -100 Alk-130 Again my pool info is I have 15 round above ground w/ vinyl About 5000 gallons Filter is D.E. No heater The issue is clear water but the presence of purple sand like substance on the bottom of pool and a hint on the walls. I...

But wouldn't I have to lower the cya first before slamming? Otherwise the shock treatment would be ineffective?
